[3.12] Aura stacking Guardian on a budget
|
Hi there, any chance to swap spark to Ek without having my medium jewel recraft ? All my medium jewel are among + replenishing
Thanks |

" The difference between Spark and EK- you must have conversion Watcher's Eye for EK and threshold jewel Your medium clusters should be giving you as much of AE as you can get So if you run 3 heralds - it is a good idea to add 2 Purposeful Harbinger notables But if your RMR is not enough to fit heralds you should opt for second best option which is 25% increased effect + First among the equals Keep in mind that power of this build is coming from those jewels, so try to get at least 275% AE total |

" As I mentioned - POB doesn't count Purposeful Harbinger nodes The rest should be counted fine |

Hey all,
this is my first time trying an Aura Stacker, I'm surely messing up something, I have 6 medium clusters, 4 with 25% increased effect, but excluding temporary bursts from Vaal gems my dps on PoB seems to be 1.2M, and also in game seems quite weak. My Pob is https://pastebin.com/ZAxvXdJs or else you can check my profile, guardian name is WeiShiSharan. I really can't figure out what I'm missing. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help! |

" Hi I've checked your character, and here is what I found: 1. In your main link, you have a lightning pen - it is useless, you don't deal lightning damage, replace it with Added lightning (awakened if you can) 2. Your second ring is 40% conversion, should be 48 And it would be very nice to have one with Frostbite corruption 3. Your Flasks, get Atziri + Diamond flask ASAP, if you can afford Bottled Faith - get it as well 4. You are missing Smite, it is a very nice aura for a single-target boost 5. Replace your 9 passive Large cluster jewel, you are wasting a point there 6. Drop Arcane vision and Agility, so you can get more AE Getting one more LVL would be nice as well, you will be able to allocate all passives 7. Your belt is bad, get Crystal belt and craft it as described in the crafting section 8. Your amulet is kinda bad as well You are currently missing 1% RMR on it you need catalysts I assume By this point, your DPS should be quite decent Enough for all content, except 100% Delirium You will be able to clear it by this point, but if you want to steamroll it - you'll have to invest big into the build, namely: - Better amulet - Better Rare jewels - HH - More RMR on your jewels - More AE (there are multiple ways how to fit more AE into this build) |

Hey thanks very much on answering! Will work on your corrections right away!
One other thing that is not very clear to me, what are good rare jewels to use? Only critical enhancing ones or spell damage/lightning damage is still good? Thanks again! |

" No problem :) Rare jewels have the following priorities: 1. RMR corruption (if it allows you to fit more auras) 2. ES - build is very much lacking EHP 3. Crit chance - nice to have, since your multiplier is 300 from gloves 4. Damage - Projectile damage(if you play EK), elemental damage, damage any of these are good But keep in mind that jewels with RMR + ES are quite pricey Last edited by askaal#1716 on Dec 30, 2020, 11:38:08 AM

Following as much as I could of your corrections, now I have 89% resists and damage to 3.2M without Vaal bursts, build starts feeling much better.
I tried crafting a few jewels but no luck with rmr tho. The items with auras are veeeery pricey so it won't be easy to achieve, but am working on it: I do some lab carries and with Twice Enchanted sometimes I get some good enchants to sell. Anyway I like the build, tyvm for it! Will continue to try to improve even if there are only 8 days left. |
